Mixerr Album Reviews #865

This is Michael Mixerr. I will review The Phantom Dance Band - Outback.

Dance music meets country music on this fantastic country dance album. Dance music meets country music thus creating the sub-genre of country dance. The band takes us on a fantastic journey though dance by playing country music. Most of the dance techniques demonstrated and sung are two-step dances. Also Latin salsa music is heard on this album. Tommy Hancock performs a majority of the songs on this album. However there are more instrumentals on this album than the last album. 

Back To New Mexico is a Texas two-step country song. Tommy Hancock feels weird from the stress and stain from traveling on the road. It has begun to short his brain. The fast lane makes him doubt all in life. He only knows fast life. He needs to get back on solid ground. Tommy needs enchantment for his soul. So he will go back to New Mexico. 

Country meets Latin music on the song San Antonio Rose. San Antonio Rose pays honor, homage, and tribute to the city of San Antonio, Texas. It is also a love song. San Antonio Rose sounds like a song Willie Nelson Deep within Bob Wills heart lies a melody called San Antonio Rose. In dreams, Bob Wills lives with a memory. 

The Cottonwoods Are Turning Green is about climate change in the weather. There is still snow on the mountaintop. The flowing streams are clear and clean. It's a perfect time to plant and grow a garden. It's clear that the cottonwoods are turning green.

Marfa Lights is dedicated to the Marfa Lights out in Marfa, Texas. It's a place out in West Texas. The sun sets on the desert of Mexico and Texas. There is mystery in these Marfa Lights. Moonlight has reflected on the Rio Grande river. The occult occurs. 

The Beer Drinking Goat is an ode to alcoholic beverages. It's one of those songs to get drunk to. Many alcoholic drinks are referenced in this song.  

I rate this album, Outback, 5/5*****!
